Princess Charlotte will soon be splashing around in puddles wearing an iconic pair of Hunter Wellington boots!

Prince William was gifted a pint sized pair of bright pink Hunter wellies for his baby daughter during the second day of the Audi Polo Challenge in Ascot, England, on Sunday. The thoughtful present was from Andre Konsbruck, the Director of Audi UK.

Designed for toddlers, the Original Kids' First Classic Wellington boots are from the Hunter Kids' collection and are specialised rain boots designed for growing feet.

The story of the Wellington boot begins in England in the early 19th century. The Duke of Wellington commissioned London shoemaker Hoby of St James to modify his military Hessian boots. These first boots, the Duke's namesake style, were made of leather, cut close to the calf and were designed as a fashion item.Using many of the same techniques, today Hunter boots are handcrafted from waterproof rubber to produce the iconic design of the Original Boot.
